SPA21 SURROUND AMPLIFIER USER GUIDE

ADVANCED CONNECTING

Power connection

Warning! Before connecting power check 
that the required supply voltage, indicated on 
the back panel, corresponds to your local AC 
supply. If different voltage is stated on the type 

plate do not connect the SPA21 to the mains power. You 
then have to seek advice from your dealer.

Connecting the mains power using the enclosed mains 
cable. 

Always disconnect the SPA21 from the mains power be-
fore connecting or disconnecting any of the cables.

Safety instructions

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this ap-
pliance to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with 
liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the SPA21.

If you want to build in the SPA21 you need to be sure to 
allow space of at least 20 cm behind, 10 cm on both sides 
and 30 cm above the top panel of the unit. This is to pre-
vent fire or damage. Although you have to make sure that 
the main switch is accessable.

Main outputs

The main outputs provide eight discrete analog audio 
outputs for connecting to the power amplifiers and loud-
speakers in the surround system. 

Audio inputs

The SPA21 provides a total of 10 or 12 audio inputs, four 
digital and eight or five plus one external analog. Be-
cause the SPA21 is configurable, you have total flexibility 
about which digital input you use for each of your digital 
sources, and which analog input you use for each of your 
analog sources. In addition, you can optionally use four 
pairs of analog inputs for a single, multi-channel source, 
such as DVD-A or SACD, called external.

The SPA21 is supplied with a suggested set of sources 
already set up, and you may choose to leave the inputs as-
signed in this way. However, if you prefer, you can 
reassign the inputs to sources in any way you prefer to suit 
the equipment in your system, and the way you would like 
to wire it up.

Digital inputs

The SPA21 Surround Processor provides two SPDIF dig-
ital inputs, and two optical TOS-Link digital inputs.

Analog inputs

The SPA21 provides eight or five plus one external analog 
input.

Video connections

The SPA21 provides a choice of either component, 
S-Video, or composite video connections. If your source 
or monitor provides a choice of video connections we 
recommend using the component or S-Video connections, 
as these provide higher quality. However, we recommend 
you first connect up and calibrate your system using the 
composite connection.

Video inputs

The SPA21 provides two component video, three 
S-Video, and four composite video inputs.

Video outputs

The SPA21 provides one component video, two  S-Video, 
and two composite video outputs. The on-screen display is 
only provided on the S-Video and composite outputs.

Connecting to a television or monitor

Connect the appropriate output to your television or 
monitor. If you are using video sources of more than one 
type you may need to make a connection from each video 
output to your monitor as the SPA21 only performs con-
version from S-Video to composite.

If your television includes a tuner output you can use the 
SPA21 to perform switching between the television tuner 
and your other video sources such as DVD or Laser Disc. 
In this case connect the television tuner output to the 
video input corresponding to your TV source.  If your 
television does not provide a tuner output you will need 
to switch the television between its internal tuner and the 
external video input.
